Pay back our $5 million, Chasi tells Wicknell

Barely 24 hours into office, newly appointed Energy Minister Fortune Chasi has already started to have his presence felt. His first dig was at flamboyant tenderpreneur Wicknell Chivayo who was given an advance of $5 million for the stuttering Gwanda Solar project. “We want our $5 million back”, Chasi said.

He said the Zesa management must do everything to ensure that the $5 million advanced to Intratek Zimbabwe for the Gwanda Solar Project is recovered.

Minister Chasi said even if the courts have exonerated the company and its director Wicknell Chivayo, Government needs the money recovered at all cost.
